1105 Project nears goal with support from New Pi

The 1105 Project has announced support from New Pioneer Co-op to help raise money for its capital campaign on behalf of four Johnson County social service agencies.

The co-op's Board of Directors is encouraging co-op members to consider directing their dividend checks this year to The 1105 Project Building Fund, a campaign to fund renovations to a building now shared by the Crisis Center of Johnson County, the Domestic Violence Intervention Program, the Free Lunch Program and the National Alliance on Mental Illness of Johnson County.

To contribute to the 1105 building fund, co-op members can endorse their dividend checks as "payable to The 1105 Project Building Fund," add their signature and deliver their endorsed checks to New Pioneer by mail or by putting them in a drop box at either store.

1105 organizers say support from co-op members could help close the books on their $1.25 million campaign. With the city of Iowa City donating $100,000 if the 1105 Project can raise $200,000 by Monday, each new gift received before then is worth 50 percent more to 1105. To date, the 1105 campaign needs about $25,000 to collect the full $100,000 city match and conclude its campaign.
